West Bromwich Albion

Stoke City

Both Teams To Score

Reason for tip

West Bromwich Albion are hard to trust defensively right now, having failed to keep a clean sheet in 18 of their last 20 Championship matches. That opens the door for Stoke City, who have shown they can score on the road, averaging two goals per game in away matches against bottom-six sides. Six of the last eight league meetings between these teams have seen goals at both ends, and with neither defence convincing, another BTTS game looks the percentage play.

Stoke City 2-1

Reason for tip

A narrow away win makes sense. West Brom are struggling for results, with eight defeats in their last nine league games, and they have lost by a single goal 12 times this season. Stoke’s form has been mixed, but they have enough attacking threat to punish a fragile Baggies back line. If both teams get on the scoresheet as expected, Stoke edging it 2-1 fits well with recent trends and West Brom’s habit of close defeats.

Goals likely at The Hawthorns as Stoke look to edge the derby

West Brom have struggled at the back this season, and both teams to score is the best bet for Saturday’s Staffordshire derby between West Brom and Stoke at The Hawthorns.

Stoke are 12th in the Championship, ten places above West Brom, with a ten-point gap between them. Stoke have won 12 of their 30 games this season, while West Brom have nine wins.

West Brom are struggling to get wins, having failed to win eight of their last nine Championship games, while Stoke’s form has been up and down, with two wins, two draws and two defeats in their last six matches. However, West Brom have avoided defeat in the last seven league meetings with Stoke.

Stoke will be bullish about their chances of scoring, having averaged two goals a game in their five Championship away games against teams in the bottom six this season.

Six of the last eight Championship meetings between these sides have seen both teams score, although West Brom won 1-0 the last time the two met in the league.

Both teams are struggling defensively. West Brom have failed to keep a clean sheet in 18 of their last 20 Championship games, while Stoke have gone 11 matches without shutting out the Baggies.

Stoke’s 2-1 away win looks like a decent correct-score bet. West Brom have lost by a single goal 12 times in the Championship and have suffered two straight home defeats.
